Her Bodyguard

Chapter 11

Cecilia's P.O.V

"Hey mom, dad." I greeted after I get inside the study, where they wait.

"Cecilia! Oh thank goodness you're okay." My mom exclaimed and hug me so tightly, I hug her back before I went and hug my dad.

"You're okay right?" He ask.

"Yes, I'm fine. Dimitri made sure of that." As I mentioned Dimitri's name, something flash in my fathers eyes, but vanish quickly.

"We expected you this morning, what happened? It's four in the afternoon already." He said looking at the grandfather clock.

Well, me and Dimitri were busy, but I'm not telling them that. "I went to the office for a bit, but I forgot the time. I'm sorry dad."

After talking to them about the incident and about their holiday, I excuse myself and went to my room. I miss the place, not that much, but I still miss it. The Branson's house are so lively unlike this place, I didn't know I hate it here so much until I get to live in Dimitri's house for two days. Laying on my bed, I fell asleep thinking about Dimitri's house and his family.

I woke up two hours later and I feel scared and nervous. What is this? Ever since this morning, I've been feeling so uneasy like something is about to happen, but I don't know what it is. I strip naked and went to the bathroom to take a shower, my heart still beating rapidly inside. After I took a shower, I change and went outside, immediately noticing one of the maid went inside Dimitri's room. I frown and walk inside only to see her changing the bed sheets, I sigh and was about to walk out when I notice the room is empty, like too empty for someone whose staying here. I look around and the more I realize Dimitri's things are not in here anymore, my heart gets closer and closer to my throat and I feel like any moment I would vomit it.

"L-lisa." My voice and my body started shaking. "Lisa wh-where's Dimitri?" I ask.

"Miss Winters, Sir Dimitri is leaving so I was told to clean this room."

"Leaving? Why is he leaving!?" I yell and didn't wait for her reply and ran straight downstairs where I saw Dimitri saying goodbye to Martha before he went outside where his car is. "Why are you leaving?" I ask the moment I catch up to him.

"Cecilia, I thought you were sleeping."

"So you actually plan on leaving without telling me? Why are you leaving?"

"I no longer fit to be your bodyguard since your life was put in danger because I left you." He said.

"But you had reason and who would actually think that something like that will happen? It wasn't your fault."

"I'm partially at fault."

"So what, you're just going to leave without telling me? You promise you wanted to be the one protecting me, why are you abandoning me now?" My face our now soak with tears.

"Because I can't tell you, it's too much."

"And it's not too much for me? You'll just leave me hanging?"

"Cecilia -"

"How can you leave just like that? How is it so easy for you to leave me?"

"You think this is easy for me?" He ask

"Well, given the fact that you can actually go without telling me, then yes, I think this is easy for you."

"I don't want to leave you, but I don't have a choice! Your father fired me!" He said angrily. By now, all the servants are gathering just a little further from us to see what is happening.
